Overview

The Bachelor of Business – Bachelor of Creative Arts combines business knowledge with creative practice. In this double degree, you complete the requirements of both courses as separate areas of study. You must select at least one major from the Bachelor of Business and at least one major from the Bachelor of Creative Arts.

Through your Business studies, you will develop analytical, communication and decision-making skills that can be applied across industries. You will explore key business disciplines before choosing your major, building foundations in business analysis, data interpretation and evidence-based decision-making.

The Bachelor of Creative Arts develops your creative practice through hands-on learning, helping you build technical, creative and professional skills in your chosen discipline. You learn alongside practising artists, performers, musicians, writers and designers while creating original work in professional environments.

This double degree allows you to graduate with two qualifications in less time and overall cost compared with studying each course separately.

See the  for more information. 

A distinctive feature of the Bachelor of Business is the interdisciplinary capstone project. In your final year, you will work with students from different business specialisations on a challenge provided by an external organisation. Through this experience, you will gain insight into how areas such as finance, marketing, management and sustainability contribute to solving organisational problems.

Throughout the degree, you will apply business concepts to contemporary challenges while building experience working independently and collaboratively.

The Bachelor of Creative Arts allows you to develop expertise through majors in Creative Writing, Music, Performance and Theatre, Visual Arts, or Visual Arts and Design. You create and present original work through performances, exhibitions, concerts and publications while developing technical skills, creative confidence and professional practice.

Learning takes place in purpose-built facilities including recording studios, theatres, galleries and studio spaces.

By completing both courses, you graduate with the distinct knowledge and capabilities developed through each qualification. This broadens the range of industries and professional contexts in which you can apply your skills.
